I’d never tried Boomkin spec. I had some gear I cobbled together to try my hand at Druid Resto (never did), it’s got +Int, so I thought “What the heck.” (Or whatever a Kaldorei Padawan of Cenarius might say.)

So I popped on some antlers, and did the Wrath, Wrath, Wrath … Starfire, Starfire, Starfire thing. Then something called Starsurge. I’ve never hit anything for 10k+. (Yes, call me a noob.) I did tonight. (Of course I haven’t reset my Shaman yet so perhaps his Elemental attacks are just as improved.) The the solar and lunar eclipses. Fun.

The built-in “Power Auras” are a nice touch. The new tradeskill window is very MrTrader-esque. I hope Blizzard takes care of the creators of those addons which they then adopt into the game.

About that light. I was on the boat from Auberdine to Stormwind City and I noticed for the first time the so-called “Dynamic sunshafts.” Nice, nice. And the water properly reflects the background too.
